1.-THE KINGS DAUGHTERS


Women Who Organize, in Bands of Ton,
for Doing Good Work.
The New York World calls attention
to the fact that there is in the American
metropolis n society Of women known us
the Kings Daughters. which, despite its
royal title, is a very democratic organiza-
ton. |. was begun by ten women who
felt an impulse to do some organized re-
ligious work and objected to the tram
mels of a big. unwieldly society. SO
these ten met at the house of one of their
number less han a year ago, elected n
president, adopted a motto, n watchword
and a badge, consisting of n tiny Maltese
cross suspended TO a bit Of royal purple
ribbon.
The society has grown very large-not
added to the original group, but organ
lied in other branches Of ten cach-and
the strange sight is seen sometimes of a
woman at the counter Of a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon ON the breast of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying, Il also am a
daughter of the king" The original ten
have formed the nucleus of u general
society. and are known as the Central
Ten. TO them perplexing matters are
referred, but the organization is very
elastic. and each little group carries on
its own self chosen work in its own
way. One Of the tens decided to visit
the sick children in the hospitals. and
chose that as their work. A number Of
them, various tens taking turn, visit the
hospitals and regularly assist in the insti-
tuition, also bringing dolls, picture books
and toys for the little ones. One ten has
undertaken to teach u class Of poor work
ing girls to sew and cook.
Ten society girls with trained voices
call themselves a Musical Ten, and sing
in hospitals and at charitable concerts.
One branch calls itself the Shut-in Ten,
consisting OF invalids who have been con
fined TO the house for years; another ten
devote themselves to these invalids and
endeavor to bring light and joy into their
lives. corresponding with them, visiting
them, reading to them and teaching them
all sorts Of fancy work to beguile their
tedious lives. Som branches devote
themselves to home and foreign missions.
and there nave been tens formed in
boarding schools for their self improve
ment. Girls prominent in society have
joined themselves to the Kings Daugli-
tiers, finding an outlet for their surplus
energies and room for whatever their
special taste dictates.-Detroi Free Press

There is an immense number of rooms
iii the building, and the horde of con-
stantly changing tenants is never so
great as to occupy much more than half
of them. Then rent is placed so high
that the poor people cannot afford to take
advantage Of the numerous compart-
ments. But the whole population is like
a colony of brothers. If "A tenant falls
sick his room is ut once invaded by all
his neighbors without exception, as many
as can get in, who bring the support of
their slender %esourc who prescribe for
his ailments, who divide their soup with
him, and in every way possible show
themselves true friends. Among them is
one who is IA permanent tenant. He is II

two years he has lain on his bed in this
building, his sole income being an an
nuity from an actors relief fund.
amounting to ten francs a month.
In the winter there has usually been
three francs added for the purchase OF
fuel, but the fund is low this winter,
owing to numerous cases demanding re-
lief. and he gets no more than his regu-
lar ten francs. He is visited every day
by his fellow tenants, who SHARE with
Inn tobacco, soup, wood and even
money. lie composes songs, designs and
writes. and ut this time is devoting his
attention to preparing a humanitarian
volume, in which he will demand that
all the cannons in the world be melted
and cast into shovels, and that the gov
einments shall Use the money uselessly
spent for wars to buy provisions for the
needy. Now and then a tenant does not
appear. After several days some one in
quires;
Where is such u one!''

Even when a good remedy for diseases is
selected. depends in some measure upon
the manner in which it is taken. Irregu-
lar, interrupted doses can afford no fair
test of the efficacy of any medicine, how
over salutary. Taken in proper doses at
prescribed intervals, a reliable curative
will effect the object OF its use. Among
remedies which, systematically and per
sistently used, accomplish thorough and
lasting cures, and prevents the recurrence
of periodic disease, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters ranks specially high. In cases of
dyspepsia, debility, rheumatism, lever and

REMARKABLE FIGHT.
A French Divers struggle with u Gigan-

A diver named Qnintree had n re-
markable fight with a formidable fish
called the boutous or bondro, kind
of shark which nfests the Breton coast
at Douarnenez. the other day Ac-
cording TO all accounts Qaintree had a
narrow escape, and his own report OF
his terrible submarine encounter reads
like n stanza from Sehiller's famous
oem, or n page from Jules Nrrne's ro-
manccs, The diver, an old salt. was
employed by the Government. and in
pursuit of his daily labor duly de-

who were working the aii-pump in the

frightened by feeling the alarm signal

too fast for him. 1t came toward him

the animal in the throat with his chisel,
and then held it down on stone while
he drew his knife and made a hole in

the rents which the fish would make in
